You might want to consider the himalayan imports knifes, they are the best knifes/khukuris coming out from Nepal.

their website:http://yhst-7333098713883.stores.yahoo.net/

Take a look also this forum, almost every day they post"deal of the day" for  blems at reduce price:

Mine just arrived in the mail. Wow. This thing is a beast. The steel is thick: 1/2 inch at the base. It's 19" long and weighs 2 pounds. The wood handle is in near perfect condition, and the blade has a nice patina and is greasy from storage. It's actually somewhat sharp.

 

I'm going to order another one as a user, and my cheap Chinese machete is going in the garbage.

Schrade SCHF10

 

Just got this the other day. Definitely a sweet blade.

 

 

If it was made of 1095 Hi-Carbon steel like the SCHF9 I would certainly buy a couple of them.  I really like the looks of the SCHF10, and its nicely balanced and it probably would make a decent blade in a humid area with its stainless material, but I am also not too fond of the curve on the blade which makes it hard to sharpen, especially in the field.  The sheath is OK, but nothing to write home about.   The SCHF26 seems to be the same blade, but with a different grip and a lower price point.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
